​If you are like me and many other faith-based visionaries, you probably dream of having a business where you can have freedom, fulfill your God-given callings, help others, and make money doing the things you love. I wanted that so much - a life of joy, creativity, and the ability to bless the ones I love. I have discovered... Dreams Do Come True! And, now, I want to share that truth with the world and help others to build the business of their dreams!
​
The Name, Hazel Inc., fashioned after my name – Hazel Mynes - represents the thought that YOU are your business... that your gifts, talents, experience, education, interests, and many other parts of who you are come together as that desire in your heart to pursue your Purpose and your Calling.
In addition to inspiring, encouraging and equipping entrepreneurs and artists that come to me for help, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, going on trips, crafting, web and graphic design, desktop publishing, writing, the arts, teaching, working with children, Christian ministry, and all things creative. My favorite, though, is to spend time with my husband, Mark, our son & daughter-in-love, Marcus & Jenna, our son, Jeremy, and our sweet daughter, Hannah.

I believe in focusing on God First, Family, and Business, in this divine order to create peace and the joyful freedom to be who you were created to be. I love to use my creativity as an expression of my faith-centered life, my love for people, and my desire to help dreamers in business, artistry, and ministry!

Do you ever feel like you just don't know where to start? Have you hesitated to take action due to fear or other unknowns?
  • I struggled with both until I found a mentor to help me through the process and teach me how to use my gifts, talents, skills, education, experience, and abilities to help others.
  • I learned to overcome my fear and step out in faith to pursue and achieve my dreams!
  • I found value in the many courses, webinars, workbooks, and all kinds of other training materials I found online, but until I chose a mentor to help me, I didn't know where to start.
  • If you're feeling some of the same ways I did, it's time to start your journey to freedom and a life of purpose through faith.
If you think you could benefit from a mentor yourself, apply to work with me through my coaching program and let's see if we are a good fit to work together on YOUR dream online business!

My Story


Picture
​DREAMING
I had always dreamed of starting a business. I planned many, many businesses in my early adult years, and kept them all for "future use." One day in 2001, a good friend was over at my house, and I began to show him all my plans I had filed away. He called my collection, “The File Cabinet.” I excitedly showed him each detailed plan and talked about how one day I would start one of them.
 
After we looked them all over, he said, “Why don’t you go ahead and start one?” I told him my usual excuses, which I didn’t see as excuses at the time. After exhausting each “reason,” I realized that I was the only one holding myself back.
 
So, I began to go after my dreams. One of my favorite sayings became… “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.” (Goeth) I tried one business after another until some of them became a reality and actually made me some income. Being a serial entrepreneur, I started many little ventures that I enjoyed a lot, but something was missing in all this, and I didn’t know what that was at the time. 
 
Over the years, I continued my dreaming and doing businesses on the side, but there came a time when I started dreaming of being able to make a good living doing a business I loved, while having some measure of freedom in it all.
 
These three things - a good income, doing something I love, and freedom became my greatest desires.
 ​
LEARNING
I went back to school for many years, earning several degrees, but also stacking up a lot of debt. Going to school so long gave me many good outcomes, such as discovering what I love, realizing the things for which I have passion and natural gifts, and learning good work/study/research habits. Gaining these indispensable skills brings great value now in my life and business and has helped me see how hard work and persistence can pay off. These were some of the positives.
 
There were negatives also, besides the debt - the main one being that I realized I am an entrepreneur at heart and the career track I was on with school did not line up with what I really wanted. I wanted to be free! I did not want to work in a stuffy, corporate office or in an environment that not only limited my freedom and daily activities, but it also limited my income. I was thankful for my degrees and the knowledge I gained (that would later help me launch my online business), but I was ready to live the life I love!
 
THE SEARCH
I began in 2012 to search for more meaning and direction, for what God wanted out of me and my life. I wanted to know what my purpose for being here was, why I was put on earth, and what He wanted me to do with my life. I had been a Christian for many years and was thriving spiritually, but I needed to figure out how to get some of the other pieces of my life in place that had been out of order for many years. One of the major ones was my family’s finances. That was an area we had always struggled with. We couldn’t seem to get over that “curse” of living without stability, a good income, and being able to prosper as a family.

I began a search to figure out what I was called to do. I had a longing to love others and serve God, but also to delve into this entrepreneurial world and figure out how to make a good living. I began to explore my gifts, talents, interests, and what I give to others, and I did this by asking people in my life who know me well to describe what they “get from me” and what they see in me.
 
I developed a list of questions and began to ask some of the people in my life, such as family and close friends to answer these questions about me. I took meticulous notes and saw a pattern begin to emerge.
​

At about the same time I did that, in one of my college classes, I had to do an exercise that would help me understand myself better. I had to write some copy describing myself, kind of like a bio for a book, and then put those words into a computer-generated software program that produced an image. This image was supposed to tell a story of you, based on your writing.
 
The image below is the outcome:
Picture
This image is a good summation of what I was finding out about myself and what I was supposed to do.
 
I knew I was to love, that’s number one, and you can see in the image above that it is the largest word on the page, set off by itself to signify its importance.

God is love and love is the most highly ranked fruit of the spirit. It should be the absolute, most important motivation in all of our actions and words.
 
​Then, I saw that “dreams,” and “find others dream” also stood out in the image. I also saw that things like life, peace, joy, working, future, pray, spirit, and Christ were a big part of my world in the image. I still didn’t quite get it completely and was praying a lot about God revealing to me what I was called to do.
 
DISCOVERY!
One night, not long after I engaged in these activities in my search for purpose, I was spending some time with the Lord and meditating on His Word and all these things I was learning about myself.

 
Suddenly, but quietly in my spirit, I just KNEW what God was saying to me. I was called to help others find and pursue their dreams – those dream He had put into their hearts!
 
I had always had an interest in helping others in general, especially in organizing, planning, business/entrepreneurship, and the arts. I loved the Lord first and foremost and wanted to help others grow spiritually whenever I could. I used many of the skills I had learned in college to develop a web design business and helping others with their marketing materials.
 
That eventually morphed into those I helped asking me questions and wanting advice, and loving ideas I gave them to grow and expand their businesses. This was what people were coming to me for, and I realized the value of that. This skill of helping others creatively in entrepreneurship was a primary calling in my life and it gave me great purpose and fulfillment. Oh, joy!
 
THE KEYS
Later, in 2016 is when I first became aware that I could learn how to build an online business. I had become burned out on what I was doing - going to school and building websites. Now, don’t get me wrong – I LOVE building websites. However, I realized that I could not live the rest of my life sitting in front of a computer.

I wanted to learn how to build an online business where I could do my calling (helping others with their dreams in business), have much more freedom to enjoy life, move around more, do more of what I love, and make a good income. Reaching this goal would help our family have stability and the ability to spend more time together, go on trips, give to causes we believe in, and just enjoy life to the fullest.  I wanted to live the life I love! Since then, I have been doing my best to learn how to do this and help others to do the same.

​
Picture
I soon learned there were just two things standing in my way:  1). I didn’t know how to how to execute all the information I was learning. and 2). there was a fear there to step out and actually do it. I needed a step-by-step plan
​

Picture
I figured, if I can follow directions in school to get straight A’s, then why couldn’t I do that in business to succeed if I had a systematic way of knowing what to do? So, that was the first obstacle to overcome – finding out HOW to start and build an online business.
​
Picture
That left the FEAR that I had to conquer. I didn’t believe in letting fear stop me, and as the Word says, “The fear of man is a snare.” I wasn’t about being caught in a snare. After all, I wanted freedom! I came to the conclusion that if I was ever going to step out and do this, I had to “be afraid and do it anyway!” Or, even better, I needed to identify what I feared and neutralize it and then just go for it! The Bible says many times to be courageous.
Picture
Picture
I decided that fear and the unknown were not going to keep me from fulfilling my God-given dreams! I was going to find out how to take action and get busy going after them all. I wanted to overcome my fear and just do it! So, that’s exactly what I did, and I realized that by going after my dreams, I could inspire others to do the same. 
​So many people have gifts, talents, skills, passions, and things they long to do, but fear gets in the way
 
– fear of what others will think, fear of them not being good enough in some area, fear of failure, and with some… even fear of what will come with success.
 
But, I want to show others that they can overcome all those and any other fears if they follow their dreams, walk with God, pray, and depend on Him to show them their own story and purpose. They can be who they were created to be, with their own unique path to success in business or whatever other dream they may have.

Picture
GETTING STARTED
You CAN have your dream! You CAN own a successful business; you CAN be an artist! You CAN go on a missions trip or help others or give into the good causes to build the Kingdom of God in this earth.
 
Remember what God said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Picture
​Believe in yourself and never give up pursuing that dream that God put in your heart. Don’t let fear and the unknown rob you of your dream!
 
Getting help to know where to start, what to do, and how to be bold and courageous in pursuing your dream is life-changing and well worth any investment of your time, talent, and resources.
